Israel appoints Itai Ofir as new Military Advocate General despite political objections.
Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz has appointed attorney Itai Ofir as the next Military Advocate General of the IDF, effective November 24, 2025, after promoting him to major general.
The appointment, announced on November 10, followed reported objections from Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office, reportedly due to Ofir’s past ties to the Wexner Foundation and his legal career.
Despite the political friction, Katz confirmed the selection, emphasizing the need for an independent leader during ongoing military legal reforms.
Ofir, a former combat soldier with degrees from Bar-Ilan University and Harvard, served as legal advisor to the defense establishment and practiced law in Israel and the U.S. Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir praised his legal expertise and military background.
